How can I make a distribution of materials in different locations?

What I want to do in my model is that the operator collects all the boxes that are in racks and distributes one by one on each sink, respecting the flow assigned with the nodes 
I also get this error      FlexScript exception: Array index out of bounds at MODEL:/RACKS DE ALUMINIO>variables/transportdispatcher 

LAY OUT DISTRIBUCION A LINEAS SMALL COMPONENTS.fsm

Software Version:

FlexSim 20.1.1

network nodes flexsim 20.1.1 diferentes distribuciones

The reason you were getting the error was because the operator was not connected to the rack. I have updated the model with the following changes:

- Connected the operator to the rack with a center port connection

- The rack now uses a Round-Robin distribution to send items to each of the sinks (Output tab on RACKS DE ALUMINIO)

- I also included a trigger to send the operator back to the rack while waiting for the next item (Trigger tab in Operator2)

Here is the updated model:
